When Will The Government Finally Release That Damn Memo?

February 2, 2018

Since hearing about the memo and the vote to make it public, many can’t stop wondering what is taking so long. President Donald Trump has approved the release of a classified memo compiled by House Republicans on the intelligence committee, and now word is, it’ll be released tomorrow.

SCOOP – @FoxNews IS TOLD @realDonaldTrump WILL DECLASSIFY THE FISA MEMO AND TRANSMIT BACK TO HPSCI TOMORROW MORNING FOR RELEASE

According to The Daily Caller, the memo will be released with some technical redactions requested by the FBI, which continues to object to the document’s release. House rules dictate that the legislature can vote to declassify material in the public interest stipulating the president must approve its release within 5 days.

After the president’s approval, the memo will be transferred back to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who will then publicly release it. Trump reviewed the memo after the committee voted to declassify the memo Monday. Administration officials insisted the memo was undergoing a thorough national security review before any decision on its release.

“As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy,” the bureau said in a rare public statement Wednesday.

Finally! Hopefully, this wasn’t pure and hyped up nonsense and the redactions don’t cause further scrutiny. Because knowing the FBI continues to want to hide certain parts of the memo only makes most want to see the whole thing more, fueling theories.
